| Plans and Prospects | |
| Offshore areas | Several areas have been studies. Area along the coast of Holland is the most interesting. |
| Planned offshore windpower | > 6 GW |
| timing | 2020 |
| Transmission System | |
| TSOs | Tennet: 380 kV, 220 kV; regional operators: ≤150 kV |
| Control zones and operators | Tennet (entire country) |
| Synchronous Zone | UCTE |
| Final electricity consumption (2002) [TWh] | 99,7 |
| Generation capacity (2002) [GW] | 20,8 |
| Peak load (2002) | |
| Minimum load (2002) | |
| Power Generation Portfolio [GW] | |
| Nuclear | 0,45 |
| Thermal (non-nuclear) | 19,64 |
| Hydro | 0,04 |
| Wind | 0,68 |
| others | 0,00 |
| Offshore Power Injection | |
| Suited Substations | Beverwijk, Maasvlakte (Borssele, Eemshaven not considered) |
| Substation Voltage today | 150 kV at Beverwijk, 380 kV at Maasvlakte |
| Offshore power limit | 500 MW Beverwijk, 1500 MW Maasvlakte |
| Grid issues | |
| Grid code requirements | no requirements published, capacitor banks needed at substations, considered subject to further study |
| Balancing | Tennet via responsible parties, with penalties |
| Transmission bottlenecks | at injection point Beverwijk and many lines inland (380 kV) |
| Necessary reinforcements | reinforce all congested 380 kV lines |
| Timing of reinforcements | between 2012 and 2019 |
| External Factors | |
| Import/export/transit | Export increases probability of congestion |
| other factors | BritNed HVDC connector (1320 MW), NorNed HVDC connector (700 MW) |
| Trans Border Capacities | |
| Offshore Cable | |
| Connection, first projects | HVAC 150 kV |
| Landing, first projects | drilling under the dune |
| Best option, long term | Offshore substation with one single 380 kV cable to the shore |
| Connection and energy pricing | |
| Connection charges for DG | deep and negotiated |
| Connection charges for offshore wind | |
| Priority access for renewables | |
| Minimum price | |
